Tribal Confederation

The Tribal Confederation is a democratic confederacy in Central Africa. It is bordered by the Tirajids to the East, the chaotic African kingdoms to the West, Andrahan deserts to the North and unexplored savagelands to the South.

History
Following the rapid expansion of the Tirajids in the 19th century, A group of peaceful tribes economically dependent upon each other decided to band together in order to block Tirajid expansion Westward into West-Africa. They knew that if they did not form a strong enough alliance, they would not stand a chance and would be picked off one by one.

The system proposed by U'kamakame, the founder of the Confederation, was simple. Each and every tribe remains more or less independent, however they will share resources and military strength as well as unite under one elected diplomatic leader who would represent them internationally. This way, they could appear as their own country yet still keep their traditional, tribal ways.

The W'Tispy Treaty, signed in 1905 brought this idea to reality. The Tirajid Kings were livid and yet powerful democracies such as the Republic of North America, Terra Australis and Nanjou backing the Tribal Confederation along with its united military ensured that they could not lay a finger on the fledgling nation.

Under its new president, Abidemi, since 1920, the Confederation has flourished. Rights have been granted to white refugees fleeing from the extremist Leeuwenhoek-Vogel regime, economic prosperity has brought glory to the nation and repeated attempts by the greedy Tirajids to subvert the nation ready for conquering have been squashed. The president enjoys unimaginable popularity and it is expected he will be re-elected forever until he either dies or retires from politics.

Whatever happens, the political victories of U'kamakame and Abidemi have ensured the Tribal Confederation will stick together no-matter what trials and tribulations they face. They are all in it together.
